So I thought I'd post a little something about getting this blog up and running. I chose to use BlogEngine.Net based on the recommendations of some colleagues, and because it had a strong set of features and it is written in .Net, which I have familiarity with. So that's great. I chose to set up a hosting account with that company famous for their sponsorship of the #10 NASCAR car and for their Super Bowl ads, GoDaddy. GoDaddy offers BlogEngine.Net as one of the applications that they can install. That worked smoothly. I set up a sub-domain and installed BlogEngine.Net in to the root of the new sub-domain site. Smooth, slick, no trouble. I waited a few minutes for everything to settle, and was greeted with a fresh blog site. That's when the fun began.

Line 8: } A little help from the BlogEngine.Net forums pointed me to the IIS ASP.Net trust level. It needed to be set to "Full", but the default was set to "Medium". I navigated to the settings for my Sub-domain in the Plesk manager that GoDaddy uses, and found the ASP.Net settings:

And... TADA! magic, my Admin section was now working without troubles. From there I was able to go through and set up the blog settings I wanted, uploaded a Theme, and began blogging away!
